Question from Princy eliza on Organizational effectiveness (05:44, 20 January 2026)

[edit]

How to find the sources listed are reliable or not --Princy eliza (talk) 05:44, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Princy eliza: Hello! You can take a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources to find what we define a reliable sources are. Too intimidating? You might want to take a look at Help:Referencing for beginners#Reliable sources instead.

Question from V1gilL on Riverside Health (17:44, 21 January 2026)

[edit]

I can't really see what the problem is with this page besides the underlined names, does Wikipedia usually tell you what is misspelled or should I keep more of an eye out? --V1gilL (talk) 17:44, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@V1gilL:
Not sure what you mean by underlined names, but on Riverside Health there is a banner at the top of the page saying "this article has multiple issues". If you're not in edit mode you can click the links (e.g. in the phrase "too closely associated with the subject") to get more info about how to fix that issue.

Question from MedSourcesCheck (00:45, 22 January 2026)

[edit]

Hello, I am new here. I tried to post at Talk, but did not see it. I did before confirming my email. Is that a reason? --MedSourcesCheck (talk) 00:45, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@MedSourcesCheck: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
I don't think that having an unconfirmed email should be a reason that you're having an issue with Talk pages.
Also, I don't know which talk page you were trying to post on, so you could try posting it again on your own.
Happy editing! ~ rusty meow ~ 03:11, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Do I have to select one of the check boxes, This is a minor edit or Watch this page? MedSourcesCheck (talk) 04:35, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It's on this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Liafensine MedSourcesCheck (talk) 04:38, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Is the post showing up immediately or it takes while? MedSourcesCheck (talk) 04:39, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I figured out and posted in Talk. MedSourcesCheck (talk) 06:05, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@MedSourcesCheck: Sorry, I was asleep then. Glad you got it working! ~ rusty meow ~ 15:59, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
My post is to ask other editors to correct the article. If no one does it, what should I do. The article has error and outdated legal status. MedSourcesCheck (talk) 18:13, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@MedSourcesCheck: This may be because it is a less-known page. To gain more visibility or feedback you could post it at the WikiProjects listed at the top of the Talk page, Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals. If you still don't get a response and know how to do so, you can also edit the page yourself. ~ rusty meow ~ 22:36, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Both Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals are labled Low Importance. Will that impact visability? MedSourcesCheck (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@MedSourcesCheck: That shouldn't impact visbility. The importance label does refer to the priority the WikiProject gives the article, but by posting it on the Talk page of the WikiProject itself, someone is bound to see it. ~ rusty meow ~ 15:52, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Goatmint (12:00, 22 January 2026)

[edit]

I'd like to claim credit for a contribution made before I created a Wikipedia account. The temporary account username is ~2026-47733-0, and the contribution was made at 11:53, 22 January 2026 to the Admissions section of the page for Colgate University (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgate_University#Admissions). How would I go about claiming credit for this contribution? --Goatmint (talk) 12:00, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Goatmint: Unfortunately, for technical reasons there is no way to reattribute edits to another user.
As such, there really isn't a formal process to "claim" an edit; I edited several times before creating this account. If you want to link to it on your user page, that's alright.
Happy editing! ~ rusty meow ~ 15:59, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Safer roblox (07:59, 24 January 2026)

[edit]

hello how can i create an info about me free? --Safer roblox (talk) 07:59, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Safer roblox: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm not really sure what you mean by an "about me free", but if you want to create an article on yourself, this is the wrong place. We require all articles to meet the "notability" guidelines before they are accepted.
On an unrelated note, your username "Safer roblox" may violate the Wikipedia:Username policy. It gives the impression that you are either associated with Roblox or you are trying to promote safety on the Roblox platform. You can change your username at Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

Tech News: 2026-05

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Wikimedia Foundation invites comments on proposed future of the Product and Technology Advisory Council until 28 February.
  • All users with registered accounts can now use passkeys for two-factor authentication (2FA). Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the Account Security project.
  • Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the "prevent this user from editing their own talk page" is enabled. This solves the problem of logged-out users unable to use the default unblock process via user talk page. [1]
  • Recurrent item View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) methods description on the management page has been updated. It is now clearer and easier for users to understand and make use of. [2]

Updates for technical contributors

  • A new AbuseFilter variable, account_type, has been added to provide a reliable way to determine the account type being created in the createaccount and autocreateaccount actions. As part of this change, the variable accountname has been renamed to account_name, and accountname is now deprecated. Edit filter managers should update any filters that use hardcoded account type checks or the deprecated variable. [3]
  • Image thumbnails that are requested in non-standard sizes, and using non-standard methods such as direct requests to upload.wikimedia.org/… will stop working in the near future. This change is to prevent ongoing external abuse by web-scrapers and bots. Some users with custom CSS/JS, Interface Admins who can fix gadgets and local skins, and Tool-authors, will need to update their code to use standard thumbnail sizes. Details, search-links, and examples of how to fix them, are available in the task.
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Question from CallahanKieranKiki420 (00:27, 27 January 2026)

[edit]

Hello, on the Walt Disney Studios (division) page, I want to add 20th Century Animation to the studios listed on the main paragraph of the article, but Mediafan200 keeps removing it because be believes "it's not prominent enough". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walt_Disney_Studios_(division)&action=history --CallahanKieranKiki420 (talk) 00:27, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@CallahanKieranKiki420: Alright, you guys need to discuss it on the Talk page and reach a consensus instead of reverting. Do not make any further reversions, even if Mediafan200 reverts your edits, doing so can lead to you being blocked (restricted) from editing.
I've sent a notice to both of your talk pages with dispute resolution information, including what to do if you can't agree on something.
Feel free to ask if you need more help, or have additional questions!

Question from Pjones5683 on Tony Sewell (18:04, 29 January 2026)

[edit]

Hello, I was wondering if changing the sentence "Sewell's parents arrived in the United Kingdom from Jamaica in the 1950s." would be better as "Sewell's parents immigrated to the United Kingdom from Jamaica in the 1950s." in Early life and education, or if that could come off as an attempt to highlight this person's parental immigrant status unfairly. Thank you --Pjones5683 (talk) 18:04, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Pjones5683: I don't see a problem with it; the wording "immigrated to" is used in many articles.
Besides, if you're not sure of something, you should always be bold and try it anyways! ~ rusty meow ~ 23:46, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Singapore54321 (15:23, 31 January 2026)

[edit]

Can you create a wiki page for me? --Singapore54321 (talk) 15:23, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Singapore54321:
Sorry, I can't create pages for you; I'm only here to help you with editing Wikipedia. You'll have to create an article yourself, and submit it through the Articles for Creation process.

Tech News: 2026-06

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

Question from TechEditor9903 (17:27, 6 February 2026)

[edit]

What is the proper way to point out what I believe to be either an error or conflicting sentences in an article? --TechEditor9903 (talk) 17:27, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@TechEditor9903: You can post it on the "Talk" page for the article. When you're viewing an article, there will be tabs "Article" and "Talk" on the top left. Clicking the "Talk" tab will lead you to the talk page of the article. You can then click on the "Add topic" tab at the top right to start a new discussion.

Question from Tegene Kunbi senbeto (23:55, 7 February 2026)

[edit]

Tegene Kunbi

​Tegene Kunbi (born 1980) is an Ethiopian contemporary artist based in Berlin, Germany. He is best known for his abstract paintings that incorporate a "material archive" of traditional Ethiopian textiles and heavy oil paint. In 2022, he was awarded the Grand Prix Léopold Sédar Senghor at the Dakar Biennale, and he is the official representative for the Ethiopian Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026.

​Early Life and Education

​Kunbi was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He attended the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design at Addis Ababa University, where he earned a degree in Painting and Art Education in 2004. In 2008, he received the prestigious DAAD scholarship, allowing him to move to Germany to study at the Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK). He completed his Master of Fine Arts in 2011.

​Artistic Style and Philosophy

​Kunbi’s work is characterized by a "dialogue of substances," blending geometric abstraction with the physical textures of textiles. His practice is deeply rooted in his Ethiopian heritage, specifically the "Wax and Gold" (Sem-enna-Warq) philosophy and the use of religious and utilitarian fabrics. His project for the 2026 Venice Biennale, titled "Shapes of Silence," explores silence as a political and spiritual condition within the Ethiopian psyche.

​Major Awards and Recognition

​2022: Grand Prix Léopold Sédar Senghor, Dakar Biennale (Dak'Art)

​2026: Solo Representative, Ethiopian Pavilion, 61st Venice Biennale

​2008: DAAD Scholarship for Fine Arts

Tech News: 2026-07

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Wishlist item Logged-in contributors who manage large or complex watchlists can now organise and filter watched pages in ways that improve their workflows with the new Watchlist labels feature. By adding custom labels (for example: pages you created, pages being monitored for vandalism, or discussion pages) users can more quickly identify what needs attention, reduce cognitive load, and respond more efficiently. This improves watchlist usability, especially for highly active editors.
  • A new feature available on Special:Contributions shows temporary accounts that are likely operated by the same person, and so makes patrolling less time-consuming. Upon checking contributions of a temporary account, users with access to temporary account IP addresses can now see a view of contributions from the related temporary accounts. The feature looks up all the IPs associated with a given temporary account within the data retention period and shows all the contributions of all temporary accounts that have used these IPs. Learn more. [7]
  • When editors preview a wikitext edit, the reminder box that they are only seeing a preview (which is shown at the top), now has a grey/neutral background instead of a yellow/warning background. This makes it easier to distinguish preview notes from actual warnings (for example, edit conflicts or problematic redirect targets), which will now be shown in separate warning or error boxes. [8]
  • The Global Watchlist lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The extension continues to improve — it now properly supports more than one Wikibase site, for example both Wikidata and testwikidata. In addition, issues regarding text direction have been fixed for users who prefer Wikidata or other Wikibase sites in right-to-left (RTL) languages. [9][10]
  • The automatic "magic links" for ISBN, RFC, and PMID numbers have been deprecated in wikitext since 2021 due to inflexibility and difficulties with localization. Several wikis have successfully replaced RFC and PMID magic links with equivalent external links, but a template was often required to replace the functionality of the ISBN magic link. There is now a new built-in parser function {{#isbn}} available to replace the basic functionality of the ISBN magic link. This makes it easier for wikis who wish to migrate off of the deprecated magic link functionality to do so. [11]
  • Two new wikis have been created:
  • Recurrent item View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

  • A new global user group has been created: Local bots. It will be used internally by the software to allow community bots to bypass rate limits that are applied to abusive web scrapers. Accounts that are approved as bots on at least one Wikimedia wiki will be automatically added to this group. It will not change what user permissions the bot has. [14]
